    I graduated in 2000 and a buddy bought a domain to host a forum so our friend group could stay in touch before social media took off. We kinda fell off when MySpace, then FB got big, but now that we’ve all abandoned the latter it’s how we stay in touch.

    I have my Gmail account from early in its beta, probably in 2004. I became a Metafilter member I think in 2003. I got my everything2.com account in the late 90s I think, that might be the earliest I still remember.

    I have a URL that’s 30 years old this year and it’s still valid and it still redirects to my personal homepage.

    (Bonus: The oldest Internet Archive snapshot of it is from 1997.)

    Funny thing that, a personal homepage, I first created one 31 years ago, at a time when it was rather unusual to have one. I still have one, and now it has become rather unusual to have one once again.

    Been visiting http://outpost10f.com/ccc/ since 1999, and it’s still online! It’s an HTML based chat site with Star Wars and Star Trek themed rooms.

    Still glorious.

    Team Internet Paintball from 1994. My member number was TIP#860. Still have the patch on an old set of cammos, if I didn’t accidentally get rid of them during one of the many times I’ve moved over the years.

    I’ll probably still have some accounts on obscure forums I can’t remember. But something I still use fairly regularly is my Human Paladin in World of Warcraft, he’s almost old enough to drink and drive (not at the same time).

    I still maintain a Gmail account from their beta test days. I had to get an invite. 2003 or 4ish? Don’t use it for much anymore, but I still have it.
